[Old School Fool]

:lol: I ment Jugs' list, but it can be for your list also. And the other list is too old school, and Resperation isn't even the best song on that album.

Nah, Jugs list is fine.

[Jugs]

I found my list somewhere's so yeah w/e, I didn't agree with most of them.

Scenario should've been number 3 fo' sho.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

Lol at Lupe being in your top 10 favourite MC's when he ain't even released a album.

Kriegz good start, I was thinking it's going to be a mainstream post 2000 list...but you know your shit.

[Blasphemy]

Lol at Lupe being in your top 10 favourite MC's when he ain't even released a album.

Yea but my cousin has maybe 2 or 3 (i dunno how many really) burned m ixtapes of him. And he sounded really nice and really liked him. And, his new song Kick Push is awesome because I love to skate and its a rap song about skating.

The Top 100 Hip-Hop Tracks Of All Time
Tracks 90-81
----------------------

#90 - The Lox - Recognize
Year: 2000
Album: We Are The Streets
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Not exactly one of the more popular ones by Jadakiss and the D-Block crew but it is my favorite. The piano in the backround works out real well and the lyrics are real good. Solid all around track. Kind of funny, I didn't even know about this one until I saw it on another top 100 list.

#89 - 2 Live Crew - Banned In The U.S.A.
Year: 1990
Album: Banned In The U.S.A.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Well, this whole song, if you didn't know about it already, is about how 2 Live Crew's previous album 'As Nasty As They Wanna Be' was ruled illegal to sell because of how obscene it was. This track samples 'Born In The U.S.A.' and is a decent track but I included it mainly because of the controversy around it.

#88 - Dilated Peoples - This Way (ft. Kanye West)
Year: 2004
Album: Neighborhood Watch
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: It's one of the newer ones I included because it's probualy my favorite work of Kanye's. That flute in the back is just like nicotine for your ears. Straight up awesome listening. No to mention the Peoples hold it down on the mic. If the list was personal favorites, this one would be way towards the top, I just don't know about it being an all-time great.

#87 - Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Tha Crossroads
Year: 1995
Album: E. 1999 Eternal
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This song is really feel-good and has a cool spiritual feel to it. The only reason that I didn't have the Bone Thugs higher is just because the way they rap is, to me, just ugh. It's not even understandable on a Twista level. Anyways, my favorite Bone Thugs track is 'Notorious Thugs' but it is off of Biggie's album.

#86 - Lyrics Born - Callin' Out
Year: 2003
Album: Later That Day...
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Yeah, this one is funky. It's awesome because it has a real funky feel like you could dance to it while he has some pretty good verses. The chorus is awesome with a kind of raspy voice. Just a real fun song.

#85 - Haiku D'Etat - Still Rappin'
Year: 1999
Album: Haiku D'Etat
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Haiku D'Etat is a little hip-hop group consisting Aceyalone, Mikah 9 & Abstract Rude. This whole track can just make you feel good. Abstract Rude delivers a cool chorus, he's just got one of those voices, I always confuse him with Nate Dogg. Anyways, if you need something uplifing, this is the track for you.

#84 - Sir Mix-a-Lot - Baby Got Back
Year: 1991
Album: Mack Daddy
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: It's definatly one of the more popular songs on this list. "I like big butts and I cannot lie!" Great party song, I don't think that anybody has never heard this song. And you gotta love some of the innuendos.

#83 - Cormega - Testament
Year: 1996
Album: The Testament
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Well it was officialy released last year but it was recorded in 1996. Anyways, I always love the nice piano work in the backround. Cormega is not bad for an undeground rapper. Good track right there.

#82 - Papoose - Thug Connection (ft. AZ & Kool G Rap)
Year: 1999
Album: Thug Connection (Single)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This was just a single released by Papoose back in 1999, and lemme say, this track is awesome. The beat is sick and all 3 verses are awesome. Papoose fans will know about this track and know that it's some of The Lyrical One's best. Great stuff.

#81 - Junior M.A.F.I.A. - Get Money
Year: 1995
Album: Conspiracy
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: I needed to find a way to get Biggie on here more than once. It's a good track and the little voice in the backround is really awesome and gives the whole track a laid back feel. Lil' Kim has a nice verse too.

[Kriegz]

The Top 100 Hip-Hop Tracks Of All Time
Tracks 80-71
----------------------

#80 - Handsome Boy Modeling School - The World's Gone Mad (ft. Barrington Levy, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien & Alex Kapronos)
Year: 2004
Album: White People
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This might not be everyone's favorite work of HBMS but I really like this one mostly just because of Barrington Levy. I always like his chorus. Anyways, if you don't know HBMS, they make some great stuff and it is a collaboration between Dan The Automator and Prince Paul who was the producer for De La Soul.

#79 - KMD - Nitty Gritty (ft. Brand Nubian)
Year: 1991
Album: Mr. Hood
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This track is awesome. The flow is quick and fresh and the rapping is just awesome. Alot of people like 'Peachfuzz' better but I just think this one is too good to pass up on. KMD and Brand Nubian, just awesome. Trust me, this will not be the last time you see Brand Nubian on this list.

#78 - Eminem - Stan
Year: 2000
Album: The Marshall Mathers LP
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Well let me start by saying that I dislike Eminem. Not because he sucks, but because he has alot of talent that he wastes getting caught up with 50 Cent and doing too many songs that are just whack like 'Just Lose It'. I picked this one because it is one of his more sincere tracks even though he is still trying to pull off an act, go figure. Plus, for an added bonus, it samples an awesome song by Dido which makes it all better.

#77 - EPMD - You Gots To Chill
Year: 1988
Album: Strictly Business
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: You can really chill to this. It's got an awesome, funky, old school feel to it. It actually sounds alot like California Love, but it was released years before. Hmmm. Anyways, this is my favorite by EPMD.

#76 - 50 Cent - How To Rob (An Industry Nigga)
Year: 2000
Album: Power Of the Dollar
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: I bet most people don't even know about this one because 'Power Of The Dollar' didn't become real popular, but he actually droped a few hot lines back then. Then he decided he could become mainstream and you heard him rhyming like this less and less. Well, this one is here just because 50 has such a huge influence over mainstream rap these days.

#75 - Onyx - Slam
Year: 1993
Album: Bacdafucup
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: You might not know this one by name, but this track is all over commercials these days. What an awesome chorus anyways, I don't blame the companies for using it. This is an awesomely fun song with a cool beat. I think that just about everyone has heard it somewhere before.

#74 - Ludacris - Growing Pains (ft. Fate Wilson & Keon Bryce)
Year: 2001
Album: Word Of Mouf
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This is probualy a pretty surprising pick for most, because nobody would expect Ludacris on this list, and besides it's not even one of his popular songs. Anyways, this is one of my favorite beats of all-time and it just has an awesome laid back, southern feel to it, an awesome chorus, and a decent verse by Ludacris, one of the few commercial rappers I listen to these days.

#73 - Digital Underground - The Humpty Dance
Year: 1991
Album: Sex Packets
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This track is insanely funny. How can you not love lines like "My name is humpty, pronounced with an umpty, I'm spunky, I like my oatmeal lumpy." It's a must have in my opinon for a party or dance.

#72 - Aesop Rock - Daylight
Year: 2001
Album: Labor Days
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: I'm going to start by saying, I am playing a serious favorite with this one. I think that Aesop has great talent except that his stuff can get a little too abstact alot of times, but this is almost the complete opposite. It's really laid back and the backround is almost enchanting. He has an awesome rhyming style even though it's really different. You either love it or hate it.

#71 - High & Mighty - B-Boy Document '99 (ft. Mos Def & Skillz)
Year: 1999
Album: Soundbombing II
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: It's off of Soundbombing II which also has '1-9-9-9' by Common and it's one of my favorite compilation albums. Back to the track, the beat is really cool and it features the mighty Mos Def who will be on the list later.

[Blasphemy]

Eminem Stan only 78? I would put that in my top 5 ever. That song is just amazing. No one has ever tried to pull anything like he did before. And he became a huge hit.

Also, I loved Power Of A Dollar, great album better than that Massacre bullshit.

Also, wouldnt it be a little easier if you start from the best to the worst?

[Srbija]

^ Yea thats what i thought when I looked at it. its allright to have maybe 10 new(er) songs on your list. But I really dont think Hate it Or Love It should be on on an all time list lol.

Just wondering, but what are your top 10 favorite hip hop artists? This question is to everybody.

here's mine...

10. 50 Cent (back in his Power of A Dollar/Get Rich or Die Tryin' Days)
9. Jay- Z
8. Kanye West
7. Lupe Fiasco
6. DMX
5. Ice Cube
4. KRS- One
3. 2Pac
2. Nas
1. Eminem

Here's mine..

10. 50 Cent/Tech 9
9. Chamillionaire
8. Snoop Dogg
7. Ice Cube
6. Eminem
5. Biggie
4. Nas
3. DMX
2. Tupac
1. Eazy E

[Jugs]

Anyone that includes 50 Cent in anything, don't tell me where you live because you will be dead.

[Srbija]

Sorry Jugs, I don't want to mess with you.

[Jugs]

It's just, I really hate the fucktard, that's all. My friend is like "yo man, 50 cent is da shit and jay-z sux da cock man"

[Old School Fool]

50 Cent isn't so bad as people make him out to be. The guy makes hot tracks, and it fucking works so props to him for doing it.

And lol @ Chamillionaire and Tech N9ne being on Srbija's top 10

[Kriegz]

I don't know how you can laugh at Tech N9ne, he tries to do a little too much with his yelling choruses but the guy has some of the best rapping talent around, no doubt.

[Kriegz]

Eminem Stan only 78? I would put that in my top 5 ever. That song is just amazing. No one has ever tried to pull anything like he did before. And he became a huge hit.

Also, I loved Power Of A Dollar, great album better than that Massacre bullshit.

Also, wouldnt it be a little easier if you start from the best to the worst?

None of Eminems tracks would even end up that high if it didn't have an awesome Dido sample. Anyways, the top 5 is going to be the actual best ever, probualy some old school stuff. And about going bottom to top, it's just easier for me because I can cross them off my list, besides who wants to hear #1 before #100?

[Blasphemy]

Yea you do have a good point.

You have to put 2pac- Dear mama on your top 10. If you dont ill bomb your house.

[hova-]

Here is mine:

10. Jay-Z (I liked him very much some time ago, thats why my nickname)
9. Slum Village (I hope groups are allowed, their sound is fresh)
8. Dangermouse & Jemini (only one album, but that was sick)
7. Lupe Fiasco (only one LP, but I really like that very much)
6. Jurassic 5 (awesome rap group, Charli 2na is my very much favorite)
5. Talib Kweli (I love his lyrics, is gettin tight now, the top 6 are close)
4. Kanye West (maybe not the best rapper, but I love his creativity)
3. The Pharcyde (I just like these oldschool stylez, Slimkid is my favorite)
2. Outkast (The old albums are so good, the new ones very innovative)
1. Common (Well, look at my avatar, Be is the best LP ever for me )

Other good acts: Mos Def, Nas, Fugees, Jean Grae, Twista (only few stuff), M.I.A. (you know here from live 06 )

[Kriegz]

The Top 100 Hip-Hop Tracks Of All Time
Tracks 70-61
----------------------

#70 - Scarface - On My Block
Year: 2002
Album: The Fix
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Oh yes, that piano in this song is awesome. Scarface is pretty damn solid, alot of his stuff should be alot more popular. He's part of The Geto Boys which you will see later on the list. This one actually sounds alot like someting Jay-Z would do, but it's solid.

#69 - Busta Rhymes - Break Ya Neck
Year: 2001
Album: Genesis
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Honestly, Busta is one of the best rappers that remains mainstream these days. The Big Bang has some commercial hits but it also has some nice hip-hop tracks like 'Cocaina'. I chose this track because he just really shows off his flow and rapid delivery while he lets it lose and makes it awesome. Dr. Dre does a pretty good job with the beats too. I could have also used "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See' or 'Woo Ha!!! Got You All In Check'.

#68 - Arrested Development - Mr. Wendal
Year: 1992
Album: 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days In The Life Of...
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This is one of my personal favorites. It's just a real feel good song about a homeless man named Mr. Wendal. Unfortunatly, most bums arn't like the one described, but it's awesome because it's so laid back and fun.

#67 - The Pharcyde - Runnin'
Year: 1995
Album: Labcabincalifornia
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Here's another great track with a real smooth sound. The chorus is really hard to get out of your head but that doesn't mean it's not great. Pharcyde is a great group that I could have had a few other tracks from.

#66 - Young MC - Bust A Move
Year: 1989
Album: Stone Cold Rhymin'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: It's got kind of a more pop-rap feel, but no doubt it's a great track. Unfortunatly, these days Young MC is best known for showing up on celebrity fit club. At least he is in good company with the Biz.

#65 - Salt-N-Pepa - Push It
Year: 1986
Album: Hot, Cool & Vicious
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This one got popular again lately because it was on some commercial with some guys dancing in the office. Beside that, it's a classic beat and is in my opinon Salt-N-Pepa's best. I thought about using 'Shoop' but the beat is better in Push It.

#64 - Geto Boys - Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta
Year: 1992
Album: Uncut Dope
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: It's most popular for being on the Office Space Soundtrack. The beat is so laid back and no doubt the lyrics are a little bad but it's cool in a different kind of way. The Geto Boys have alot of tracks that are fun to listen to like 'Gangsta Of Love', 'Gangsta (Put Me Down)', and 'Six Feet Deep'. An interesting little fact, one member of The Geto Boys, Bushwick Bill, is a midget and he wears an eyepatch because back in the 90s he got in a shooting that didn't kill him but took his eye out. Pretty wierd.

#63 - Phife Dawg - Flawless
Year: 2000
Album: Ventilation: Da LP
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: A Tribe Called Quest still had some damn good tracks after the group broke up into solo acts. The production in this one is really cool and Phifey doesn't let down on the mic. You got to love the chorus that talks about Hip-Hop.

#62 - The Fugees - Killing Me Softly (With His Song)
Year: 1996
Album: The Score
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This could have gone higher but it's more of a slow, R&B type thing in my opinion. it's really hard not to sing along to. Lauryn Hill can sure as hell sing, no doubt about it. Just another feel good track.

#61 - Kool G Rap - My Life
Year: 2002
Album: The Giancana Story
------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This beat is just straight up sick. Kool G Rap shows an awesome flow throught the whole thing. This is another personal favorite of mine. Damn, The Juice Crew was awesome.

[Blasphemy]

I only disagee with 2 songs on your list that I think should be higher.

Scarface: On My Black
Geto Boys: Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta
I still listen to these songs regualar, pretty much every day. I would be Geto Boys somewhere in my top 10 and Scarface somewhere in top 40.

But good job so far.

[Blasphemy]

Im not sure if this was made before but I really wanted to talk about Rock on here and I searched and found no thread for this.

Here are my favorite bands

1. Afi
2. HIM
3. Limp Bizkit
4. Panic! At The Disco
5. Korn
6. Linkin park
7. Slipknot
8. My Chemical Romace
9. The Red Jumpsoot Apparatis
10. The Killers

[BIG GREEN]

j/k.....i like Some of the bands you got there as well as "red hot chilli peppers" and stephen tyler's band.

[K0beStar]

1.Red Hot Chilli Peppers
2.underOATH
3.Slipknot
4.Greenday
5.driver f

[cklitsie]

I totally agree with Wankster. I really like 61, 64 and 70.

[peaches]

Skater's shouldn't neccesarliy be in the same group has Emos.

[Joe']

Most skaters are emo/punk. There is a small ammount of skaters that like hip-hop though (at least here in Italy).
Anyways, most of the bands I listen to are Alternative Rock bands. They are:
1- Foo Fighters
2- blink-182
3- Red Hot Chili Peppers
5- The Offspring
6- Blur
7- Oasis
8- Nirvana (I have listened to only a few songs, but I know they are one of the greatest bands ever)
9- Aerosmith
10- Kiss (They're not my style, too much noise. But I like some of their songs)

I listen to some old bands too, like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Creedence, AC-DC and Iron Maiden, but, like Kiss, it's not my style, so I listen to only, like two songs per band.

[Jackal]

Didn't that weird person from Sri Lanka make a Rock thread already? It was in a sort of posting competition against the Rap/RnB thread.
